Cleared palm plantations and major infrastructure, but few structures.
The dominant existing land use will soon be replaced.
Reduced to patches, the MVV landscape strategy should protect existing areas of biodiversity and should connect these islands through an urban planting network. These strategies will create benefits for the future inhabitants in the form of ecosystem services.

Potential Diversity
The house on this lot is identical to the house next to it and the house next to that one. The driveway gates make each dwelling an island within an island.
The perspective suggests that the understory growth here is more prolific than the stands of trees that dominate the landscape.
At the edges of an intact (or semi-intact) forest landscape, half of the pixel values in the frame are within the green hue range. Although the overstory from this vantage point seems d o m i n a t e d b y o n e s p e c i e s , t h e u n d e r - a n d m i d - s t o r y r e v e a l a m o r e c o m p l e t e c o m m u n i t y.

Shrubs and corporate America in Malaysia.
The rogue proliferators at the foot of the wall contribute more to this image’s hue count (of less than half a percent) than the tree in the foreground does.
